What's crazy about this truck is the way it was equipped, particularly with the 350, when most military vehicles were sold to the government with a 6-cyl/stick combo. Until seeing this thread, the '68 El Camino SS396 I drove in 'Nam, was the only other V8 equipped vehicle I had seen that was shipped to the military. Here's the El Camino, beside the shop we had at Bien Hoa, in April of '70.
